Little Red

(2) K-3 In Woollvin's sly, economical retelling, Little Red's own ax-wielding skills (demonstrated off-camera) save the day. No delicate brushstrokes or pale palette here: chunky gouache and digital illustrations are restricted to black and gray against white, with red accents that nod to the classic. The fiercest illustration is a wordless stunner showing nothing but the girl's almond eyes, black bangs, and red hood.
